Comments: A meat pie floater and VB? She'll be right!
Yes, catering at this Singapore Airlines outpost has taken Ozzie Bloke
to heart, and offers just what they want. At two hours before the flight
a tray of meat pie floaters (and sausage rolls) is brought out from the
kitchen to give the Austrlian in you one last blast of unhealthyness.
They are suprisingly good (although the kitchen told me the pies were
"mixed meat", which troubled me slightly.
The SIA lounge at Melbourne is in the basement next to the United and
Qantas lounges, and has two halves - first, and business (Raffles) class.
Gold star alliance members end up in the larger Raffles half, once you've
got past the amazingly snotty receptionist.
Food is great, with trays of sandwiches all the time. The salmon and cream
cheese ones are very good. There is a platter with 3 types of cheese,
a bowl of fruit salad, and a plate with cheese biscuits (and, oddly, fruitcake).
Other than the pies, food is limmited to pot noodles.
The self-service bar is very good, and has the usual Singapore's "Wines
of the month" (2 whites and 2 red) plus a bottle of champers (one
of the last SIA lounges to still serve champers). The fridge gas all the
usual beers, with VB and Crown dominating, plus some of the more unusual
Australian beers like Cascade and Boags. Alas the fridge does not have
Bloody Mary mix.

Meat Pie, Spring Rolls, sandwiches
Drink: Brown Brothers sparkling wine, Moet Brut Imperial,

Comments: Nice fresh aussie sparkler to start. That bottle
was replaced by Moet but I preferred the Aussie sparkler. Good aussie
meat pie. I enjoyed the hour and a half spent in this lounge before the
flight to SIN.
